Good morning everyone! Can you believe it is already MAY 3rd?! Where, oh, where does time go? Thank you to everyone who participated in our 50th Challenge! How cool is that?! We have another new Guest Designer participating in this challenge, and TWO winners to announce!

Please email me with your first and last name so I may get your prize out to you right away! :) angelica {at} peachykeenstamps {dot} com

Please welcome the very talented Alison ofStretch and Bubblesto our challenge this week! I just LOVE Alison's use of color and her stampin' style - I can't wait to see what else she has for us on our home blog this week! Be sure to leave her a comment all week on our blog and on her blog for a chance to win a set of our pink Round Acrylic Blocks at the end of the week!

THE CHALLENGE

Sketch Challenge w/ A TWIST

Create a card based on the layout provided AND pop up a stamped image (the silhouette image is for placement only, feel free to use any stamp you wish!)

Project must include basic elements AND TWIST from provided sketch

Link up your creation before May 17th

Today's sketch was inspired by our very own talented Lorie Souther's card here. It caught my eye as the focus was on the image and finished off nicely with just a bit of some dimension at the bottom and three small embellishments! You don't have to use buttons, feel free to use whatever embellies you love!

This week, you'll be playing along for a chance to win a set of our FACELESS FRUIT stamp sets! These lil' guys (or girls) are super versatile! You can use your mad coloring skills, paper piece them, or finish them off with one of our Peachy Keen faces! (A variety of size faces fit this set, you'll probably want to turn to a face assortment to stamp all the fruit.)

Be sure to link up before May 17th for a chance to win! Have fun, good luck everyone!

OH MY GOODNESS!! Ladies! I love these cards! I wish I could cut that perfectly! Your coloring is just amazing and oh how adorable the sentiments are! :) THANK YOU ALL FOR ALWAYS doing Peachy Keen PROUD!! BIG HUGS AND LOTS OF LOVE, Kathy

I love the challenges that you bring on to us. As a busy mom I get drained and it's like I forget how to come up with stuff to do... but your challenges keep me thinking of fun things to make without them looking too repetitive or stuck in a same old rut. I had so much fun making this card you just don't know! Hope you gals like it. -Katya
